📋 About This Mod

See CHANGELOGS for Version History and Permissions
NOTICE:
Bethesda keeps updating Skyrim AE which forces mod authors to update their mods which is an annoyance and hassle.
I'll only be providing the SE version of Skyrim. I encourage you to use the recommended mod above.
This mod will cover and change the animations of Females using male animations of NPCs you interact with, Followers, HouseCarls, etc.
Playing as Orc - When you choose to play as an Orc Female you will now use Female Animations instead of the Male Animations.
Yes I know this mod is late in being created but ehh, download it or don't download it I really don't give a hoot. Have fun!
